Product Details:
The TLA combines the entire condition monitoring test suite outlined in ASTM’s D4278 and incorporates new tests designed to measure oxidation stability, anti-oxidant remaining useful life and varnish potential.
Test data is then summarized in a custom report that includes detailed maintenance recommendations, charts and graphs to allow for simple interpretation and corrective action.
This package covers the testing outlined in ASTM’s D4278, in addition to determining the varnish potential, additive levels and degradation mechanisms.
Each report includes customized, detailed interpretations and recommended actions.
